As i during my time in Greenland and elswhere in the World has managed several salvage expeditions and rescue operations on all kinds of aircrafts (also AMERICAN PLANES) i would be able to tell about it in your magazines if you are interested

Best wishes from Denmark

Ps as an licenced Radoiamateur (ham operator) i would like to know if there are any information of what kind of radioequipment they used on the attempted atlantic flight.—-.—-i saw the radio but was not able to identify it.—-but i think it was powerwd by drycells and it was of course an C W station.—-( maybe i should come over an have a look and see the airplane again).—-.—-
